Chasing waterfalls is one of the best things to do in Bali other than beach hopping. There are so many different waterfalls and a bunch of other natural attractions for you to explore, and you could honestly plan a whole trip to Bali around them without feeling bored!

While some are definitely not what you’d expect thanks to Instagram, others are still fairly well hidden and you may be lucky enough to get them all to yourself for a while! Make sure you choose which waterfalls you want to go to wisely, but don’t worry if you miss one on your first time to Bali, all the more reason to go back and see more of the island!

1. This could well be part of a fairy-tale! – Campuhan Antapan Waterfall

It’s incredible how many waterfalls there actually are in Bali, as it seems almost every month a new one pops up and makes you question how on earth it wasn’t discovered before! Campuhan Antapan is a little bit of a challenging drive to get to, but once you’re there, it’s incredibly easy.

A small path takes you from the entrance to this calm and serene waterfall within seconds. While not the biggest waterfall in Bali, it has its own charm! With its pool blocked off from the river beside it, you can easily soak in the water without worrying you’ll be washed away! Plus, you can even climb the waterfall a little bit and sit under the water!

2. Rugged nature paired with modern amenities and a stunning waterfall – Leke Leke Waterfall

Though having gained a little bit of traction over the last few months, Leke Leke Waterfall is still not the first choice for travellers when it comes to Bali waterfalls… why? A gorgeous singular cascade miraculously falls between the meeting of two cliff faces making it appear as though it’s the entrance to a secret cave!

Photo Via Immadiscoveler

With its entrance and surrounding amenities being well maintained and upgraded as compared to other hidden waterfalls around the island, here you get to enjoy the benefits of a tourist attraction with a lot less of a crowd. If you head there early in the morning (highly recommended), you might be lucky enough to sit and enjoy this magnificent beast all to yourself for a while; but that is if luck is on your side!

Photo Via Prorvina, Travel.vips_

Enjoying the cool waters and surrounding yourself with the peaceful sounds of the forest is the perfect way to start your morning, no? You can also take a few goes on the swings near the entrance if you’re feeling like you want a little bit of an adrenaline rush, or sit in one of their bird nests!

3. A worshipping place to breathe in and dive in – Kanto Lampo Waterfall

The unique combination of four out of the five elements (fire, water, earth and air) make this waterfall a unique location to breath in, breath out and meditate in peace. Picture a clear river, a giant pile of rocks, fresh air  and the gentle flow of water piercing through them; all in perfect harmony.

Photo Via Fabiooliveira

According to the locals, water has been flowing through only since a few years back (apparently since 2015) following an intensive praying ceremony, and since then the waterfall has been considered as a blessing for the villagers as it attracts tourists and brings them a source of income.

Photo Via Vittoriaantonini

Legend also says that a cave appeared following the worshipping event. Today, the cave is used for meditation purposes but is also home to some bat species!

Photo Via Sheilawirjakusuma, Ratuvictoria

The waterfall is rather accessible to all with a series of well-paved stairs leading down but you will also find other basic facilities such as parking lots and changing rooms. Mingle with the locals at the river bank as they spend the day fishing for the night’s dinner…

But that’s not all, there is also a small Hindu temple shaped like a gazebo where locals come to pray. You will also notice several beautiful carvings on the rocks. Culture meets nature at Kanto Lampo Waterfall; don’t miss out on this unique experience!

Kanto Lampo

Entrance fee: Rp. 20,000 (Approximately USD $1.50)
Address: Beng, Gianyar Sub-District, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali (Coordinates here)
Opening hours: Mon – Sun, 8am – 5pm

4. Introducing a hidden gem that’s going to blow your mind! – Bandung Waterfall

While there are plenty of undiscovered waterfalls in Bali, a lot of them don’t feature the necessary safety features, amenities, and services that a lot of the big ones do. While some people may enjoy that, it can be quite dangerous! Bandung Waterfall is the exception.

Photo Via Dianavitria, Mjmarceanno

The locals around Bandung Waterfall have done a fantastic job at keeping the surroundings clean. Photo spots, jump spots, and dangerous spots are all marked clearly so you can enjoy this gorgeous waterfall with ease of mind!

Photo Via They_kriz, Ystraaa__

Hidden between canyons, discovering this waterfall is an adventure in itself, and being in between two towering cliffs while you swim makes you feel even more secluded than you already are (thanks to the little crowds!). The best way to enjoy it though is to experience river tubing through its rushing waters! Hurry and visit this majestic beast before it gets too popular!

Bandung Waterfall

Entrance fee: By donation
Address: Siangan, Gianyar, Bali 80515, Indonesia (Coordinates here)
Opening hours: Mon – Sun, 7am – 8pm

5. Enjoy swimming in a series of cascading mini waterfalls! – Sumampan Waterfall

Much more than just a waterfall, Sumampan Waterfall has three aspects to it. There’s the incredibly tall surge of water which flows into a series of pools that form a cascade of mini waterfalls before finally reaching the natural pond which you can swim in!

Sit underneath one of the many mini falls and get yourself a peaceful water massage while resting your eyes a little. If you look closely at the stones, you’ll find some gorgeous engravings done by the locals as a form of art.

Photo Via Xoxotuna, Handsonnnn

However, we’ve heard that the current can be very strong, so be extra careful. The entrance fee is by donation, usually there are people there to collect money, but we’ve heard whispers from some people that you may get lucky and find it empty so you might not have to pay! To get to the waterfall you may have to swim across the river, so good shoes and a waterproof bag is highly recommended! It might also not be suitable for those traveling with young kids and elderlies.

Sumampan Waterfall

Entrance fee: From Rp. 5,000 (Approximately USD $0.35)
Address: Br. Sumampan, Kemenuh, Kec. Sukawati, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80582, Indonesia (Coordinates here)

6. Why have one waterfall when you can see three at the same time? – Pucak Manik Waterfall

Coffee, tangerine and clove plantations are what surround you in the highlands of North Bali and you should absolutely not miss visiting the area. While you’re at it, head over to this magnificent waterfall up in Buleleng.  Yes there is more to Wanagiri than its Instagram-worthy swing!

Photo Via Diana_jcb

The trek down to the waterfall will have your inner explorer only thirst for more adventures like this one in the middle of the jungle, surrounded by lush greenery! But rest assured as the trail is an easy one.

Photo Via Sandra_tp89
Photo Via Lorenaweische

Managed by the Wanagiri Tourism Awareness Group (Darwis), the natural attraction has been developed to be accessible to all. Once there, you will simply need to cross over a small bridge and walk on a slightly uphill path for about a hundred metres.

Photo Via Free_____bird

What makes this natural gem peculiar is the fact that it is comprised of three waterfalls. While the smallest flow of water is located on the extreme left, you will also find two other streams gushing out in the middle and to the right… We let the pictures speak for how magical they look!

Pucak Manik Waterfall

Entrance fee: Rp. 50,000 (Approximately USD $3.65)
Address: Wanagiri, Sukasada, Kabupaten Buleleng, Bali 81161(Coordinates here)
Opening hours: Mon – Sun, 7am – 5pm

7. It’s almost hard to believe that nobody knows about this one! – Bunutin Waterfall

So well hidden and unknown, finding the right coordinates to this place proved to be a challenge! But as they say, the harder you work, the greater the reward. Bunutin Waterfall is probably one of those places that only locals know about, it’s tucked away in Bunutin village and will definitely require you to ask around for its exact location.

Photo Via Made_bonc

It’s soothing to find chilly weathers in Bali and the low temperatures up in Kintamani will refresh you and as you come across the gushing beauty, you’ll find yourself itching to throw yourself in the shallow pool underneath the falls and just lay there soaking in the refreshing vibes, far away from the hustle and heat of Kuta or Seminyak!

Photo Via D._edy

Don’t forget to take some photos of your time here so you can look back at the day fondly and introduce all your Bali loving friends at home to somewhere new! Everyone will be blasting your inbox for more information! Check out this video to see what’s waiting for you at this hidden gem!

8. Explore two lesser-known waterfalls in the highlands – Munduk and Melanting Waterfalls

Yes, you’ve read this right – it’s a two-for-one deal on waterfalls in Munduk!

A short 300-metre walk from the main road will bring you to an incredible sight, with roaring water gushing down continuously that you’ll forget about all your worries in front of Munduk Waterfall. Spend some time relaxing on some rocks, or brave the ice-cold waters and take a quick shower (with swimmers on, please!).

Photo Via Jucchii, Awakemysoul__

Once you’ve had your fill of Munduk waterfall, start your trek north to yet another beautiful water feature – Melanting Waterfalls. Still a very well kept secret, most people have yet to venture to this beauty, and in all likelihood, you’ll be staring up at the mist in solitude. I highly suggest doing these two waterfalls without a tour, as you’ll be able to spend as much time as you want there and come as early as you want.

Photo Via Paolone81_, Gaellelf13

Being so close to Munduk Moding Plantation Hotel, pairing this journey with a night’s stay in one of Bali’s most beautiful hotels (you will never regret the view!) will make your journey here even more memorable!

Munduk and Melanting Waterfall 

Entrance fees: From Rp.20,000 (approximately USD $1.40). Rp.2,000 for parking (approximately USD $0.15)

9. Step down into the rarified beauty of Tukad Cepung Waterfall

You must have heard all about Bali’s majestic waterfalls. Unknown to most people and only recently discovered by travellers, Tukad Cepung Waterfall stands almost virgin and unexplored.

This is as close to nature as you can get! You will have to climb a flight of steps to get to this beauty, so gear up accordingly.

Photo via jordhammond

Very importantly, do be gentle with and respectful of the natural space around Tukad Cepung as locals strive to maintain the area. Once you walk down the steps, remember to look up – cliffs encircle your surrounding with the waterfall flowing from a river above.

Photo via Love_wish_believe

We’ve heard some mixed experiences from the few tourists who have travelled to Tukad Cepung. Since the waterfall remains a relative secret, there is no official entrance fee. However, in recent expeditions, travellers have been told to pay Rp. 10,000 (USD 0.75) to enter the area.

Be very careful though, it’s important to be aware of the river water levels before you head for the falls. Rapid flooding may occur if the water table begins to rise during rain so do check ahead before descending the stairs!

Entrance fee: Rp. 15,000 (Approximately USD $1.10)
Address: Jalan Tembuku, Dusun Penida Kelod, Tembuku, Bangli regency (Coordinates here)
Opening hours: Sun – Fri, 6am – 5pm; Sat, 7.45am – 5pm

10. The lesser known twin beauty – Banyumala Twin Waterfall

This is not an easy waterfall to find, but it will be well worth your effort.

The sight of this twin beauty can be overwhelming, as you take in the gush of uninterrupted water pouring against the steep cascading rocks.

11. Adventure to seven falls – Sekumpul Waterfall

If you are really adventurous, here’s your chance at trying out another challenge: Sekumpul Waterfall.

It’s not entirely unknown, but its inaccessibility renders it to be hidden from many visitors.

7-sekumpul-waterfall-by-ArtStudio23

Getting to the waterfall is very difficult, and you must travel down many slippery steps and across a river to see the falls close-up.

You can ask people to take you to the waterfall for a little bit of money and they will take you until the end of the road, from where you can walk around 50m to find the most beautiful views from high ground.

IMG_9857-9858
Photo via TripCanvas

But what’s interesting about Sekumpul Waterfall is that instead of one waterfall, there are seven! (“sekumpul” means “group” in Indonesian) These are all scattered around the area, with the tallest being more than 50 metres high.

So, are you up for it?

Important: At the entrance, there will be a group of people beside the booth asking you to take their tour for 200,000 Rupiah (USD 14), and they will claim that it’s compulsory. Do NOT fall for this scam. The route leading into the Sekumpul waterfall is quite well maintained and you can walk by yourself. Although there are 2-3 junctions, but you can ask the locals for direction. Trust us, you won’t get lost in there.

Sekumpul Waterfall

Entrance fee: Rp. 20,000 (Approximately USD $1.50) to view only, Rp. 125,000 (Approximately USD $9.15) for the short trek, Rp. 300,000 (Approximately USD $22) for the long trek
Address: Sekumpul, Lemukih, Sawan, Kabupaten Buleleng, Bali 81171, Indonesia (Coordinates here)

12. Treasure at the end of 500 steps – Nungnung Waterfall

Nine hundred metres above sea level, in a small village in the middle of nowhere, Nungnung Waterfall is waiting for you.

Listen and watch thousands of litres of water cascading down 50 metres into a beautiful pool.

Sounds gorgeous? Getting there is a real challenge, though. Situated at the bottom of a gorge, you must descent 509 steps to reach the falls.

But you’ll be greeted with a magnificent view of the waterfalls and rice paddies all around.

13. The new twin waterfall darling of Bali – Tibumana Waterfall

At Apuan village in the Susut Bangli district lies not one, but two remarkable waterfalls shyly shielding a cave opening underneath them.

Locals believe that the entrance is the secret gateway to Raja Besakih’s temple – one of the Balinese Hindu Gods.

At a 20-metre height for each waterfall, the surrounding area boasts a shallow clear pool guarded by large rocks and moss green cliffs. There is still an ongoing effort from the locals to develop this site as it holds enormous tourist potential.

Our last advice before you head out is: get a water-proof camera (or at least waterproof casing) as you’ll definitely be thirsting for gorgeous photos of your time here.

Well, see it for yourself and head over to this waterfall in Singaraja City; only 15 minutes away from Munduk Waterfall and 70 kilometres away from Denpasar (approximately 1 hour 40 minutes’ drive).

Go on a little adventure through the valley to discover this hidden waterfall. The cool mountain air and spectacular scenery makes the walk enjoyable…

Photo Via Mare_de_zee

Once you’re there, check out the little bamboo stall and settle down for a cup of coffee. Not to rave about it but the coffee there is deemed to be surprisingly good! Probably because  it is freshly brewed from their own plantations!

Photo Via Milaglamur, Julefdur

The waterfall is set on a private plot of land so you can expect better cleanliness too.

Plunge in the natural pool under the 15-metre-high waterfall. Nothing quite compares to the refreshing scent of the nearby coffee plantations while you enjoy a relaxing swim amidst the lush jungle!

Pengempu Waterfall is one of Bali’s latest and most accessible tourist attractions. When you arrive, a series of well-maintained stairs will lead you to a beautiful 20-metre-high waterfall; time to sooth your body, mind and soul!

Photo Via Erytriana_iie

Following your non-vigorous walk down to the waterfall, find yourself a spot atop the big rocks or by the river bank to sit back and relax; either that, or grab a liana to swing around and jump into the river- who knows you might find your Jane while pretending to be Tarzan?

This is by far one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Bali – unknown to many, untouched and thus spectacular! So why not head up north and check out this lesser-known gem?

Photo Via Bagusgibran_

With a 2.5-hour drive from Denpasar and located in a secluded area, this waterfall flies under the radar. However, it is not a force to be reckoned with as its beauty is second to none.

Photo Via Mdbakta_kardana

After trekking for 20 minutes, you get to relish on a picturesque gush of water pouring down. Bhuana Sari is actually the second set of the Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfall; both offer magical experiences!

Watch it burst out of the rocks and cascade soothingly into a creek. Awaken all of your senses and listen to the soothing flow of water and birds chirping in the background…

Experience Mother Nature at her finest; jump in the shallow natural pool to cool off after the effort it takes to get there or simply enjoy the droplets from high up a rock!

The waterfall is considered as a hidden oasis and only real adventurers tread this deep to explore an untouched gem! So what are you waiting for to get off the beaten path?

17. Discover a hidden waterfall among the cliffs and rocks at Desa Musi, Gerokgak

Generally known only among locals, Musi Village (otherwise known as Desa Musi) is a refreshing escape for those searching for an authentic experience in a simple Balinese village.

There, you’ll discover its secret – a cliff area where a waterfall crashes powerfully into a natural pool.

As this waterfall is very hidden, the best way to reach this place is to ask the local villagers for directions when you reach Musi Village. It’s a great opportunity to interact with the locals too!

19. Twin falls – Aling-Aling Waterfall

The Aling-Aling Waterfall is just 11km from the city of Singaraja, around 80km from Denpasar.

And it’s unique for a very special reason – the 35-metre tall Aling-Aling Waterfall is split at the top, leaving two streams that fall at completely different speeds.

ALING ALING WATERFALL baliwonderland.blogspot.com

Have you ever seen anything like it before?

But don’t believe the photographs alone. Take the long, steep walk down to the falls yourself, and admire it up close!

But what’s the most unique thing about this waterfall that sets it apart from the rest? The water flowing down has slowly created a natural water slide.

Peguyangan Waterfall on Nusa Penida isn’t a towering vertical torrent of water like the jungle falls in central Bali.

Also read: The complete guide to the Maldives of Bali – the Nusa islands (Lembongan, Ceningan and Penida)

Instead, it’s a series of short, cascading spring fountains that eventually make their way over a steep ravine and into the sea.

Away from the ravine, the cascades make a great place for all to enjoy a ‘natural spa’, and a massage from the fast flowing waters as they burble over the shallow ledges and pools.

23. The overshadowed hidden gem – Jembong Waterfall

Locally, Jembong Waterfall is known as one of the best waterfalls in Bali.

But it is in fact rarely visited due to its proximity to the famous Git Git falls.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

And that may actually be a blessing in disguise – Jembong offers stunning unspoiled beauty.
